My very first night wild parking in a motorhome was spent wide awake, convinced every rustle outside was a potential threat. I didn't know if we were going to be murdered, harassed or arrested- or all three! This is a common reaction for anyone new to wild parking or staying off-grid with a motorhome or campervan, especially when you are alone. In this week's video, I recount my early fears and experiences, plus share tips and advice on how best to get past them and build your confidence with off-grid motorhome life.

I’ve always loved capturing our adventures, but it wasn’t until I started travelling solo that I realised how much you can improve your photos — whether you’re using a drone, a phone or a “proper” camera. So today I wanted to share a few easy ways to get better road trip photos… without...
One of the most common questions I get about France is "where are your favourite places"? And it's TOUGH. There are so many incredible places around France to enjoy. Before we start, I just wanted to acknowledge the awful wildfires happening in parts of France and elsewhere in southern Europe. My thoughts are with everyone affected, especially the local communities and emergency services working so hard. The places I'm sharing below aren't intended as "go there now" recommendations -...
We've all been there. You've packed up your camper, shoved things into cupboards or piled it all on the bed in a last-minute rush... Only to set off and be serenaded by a symphony of noises.
